Chapter 132 The scaffolding at Taihe Garden has been tampered with!
Taiheyuan, Fuxing District.
As night fell, the dim yellow light illuminated the distant sky, and the gray-blue building stood somewhat somber in the center of the canvas.
"Mr. Cao, this is our recent work progress and material consumption. Please take a look." A middle-aged man handed a stack of documents to the man in front of him in a fawning tone.
Cao Yingshan took the materials, glanced up at the shelf not far away, and saw that it was already past six o'clock and people were still working on it.
There's no need to guess; it's definitely the contractor who was afraid he wouldn't be satisfied, so he had someone put on a show to appease him. What could they possibly be doing up there so late at night?
However, he only came here today to check on the work progress and didn't say much about other things.
……
the other side.
Jiang Chengcheng told the driver to get to Taiheyuan as quickly as possible. When she arrived at the gate, before the car had even stopped, she rushed over.
Fortunately, when she arrived at the construction site, her uncle Cao Yingshan was still there talking to someone, and there didn't seem to be any other suspicious people around.
Jiang Chengcheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that everyone was alright.
The ground at the construction site was covered with piles of building materials and gravel, making the road extremely uneven.
When Jiang Chengcheng finally reached behind her uncle Cao Yingshan, she gently patted his shoulder, wanting to say hello, but in just a moment the scene in front of her changed!
What was just the beginning of dusk had now turned into complete darkness.
The dim light filled the sky above the construction site, and everything seemed silent. In the distance, Cao Yingshan's silhouette was reflected in Jiang Chengcheng's eyes, and she felt as if she had returned to the spot where she had just entered.
Just as Jiang Chengcheng was frowning, confused about the situation, a sudden scream came from directly in front of her, echoing through the quiet, somewhat eerie night!
Squeak, squeak!
Jiang Chengcheng looked in the direction of the eerie sound and saw a dark figure swaying precariously on scaffolding in the dim light, almost impossible to see, not far away.
not good!
The scaffolding has been tampered with!
At that moment, Cao Yingshan was directly below the scaffolding!
"Watch out!" Jiang Chengcheng, without even understanding the situation, hurriedly warned, but it was too late!
boom!
Before Jiang Chengcheng could react, a heavy thud was heard as the man landed squarely on Cao Yingshan's head!
A flash of red light!
The bright red blood stood out starkly against the darkness, creating a chilling sight!
However, a nearly complete body could be seen at the scene!
……
real world.
"Chengcheng? Chengcheng!" Cao Yingshan looked at Jiang Chengcheng, who had been greeting him, but now seemed frozen in place, and felt a little strange.
Everything was fine just now.
"careful!"
With this sudden shout, Jiang Chengcheng returned to reality from her illusion, and Cao Yingshan and the middle-aged man beside her were also startled!
The first thing Jiang Chengcheng did after regaining her senses was to ask the system what had just happened.
“Master, the Eye of Reincarnation was activated unexpectedly just now because Cao Yingshan was a dying man.”
The system's voice rang in Jiang Chengcheng's mind. Hearing this explanation, Jiang Chengcheng couldn't help but feel puzzled. What she had just seen was her uncle Cao Yingshan's dying future? How could she see the future of a dying person? Wasn't the system afraid that she would change history on a large scale?
However, these are things to consider later; the most urgent task is to save Cao Yingshan.
"Uncle, let that person come down. It's dangerous at night," Jiang Chengcheng said, glancing at the worker in the illusion who might fall and hit Cao Yingshan.
If this person really gets into trouble, it's not just a matter of losing a life; his family and the Cao family will also suffer. The Wang family can even take the opportunity to acquire the Cao family's business. This is truly a vicious scheme that kills two birds with one stone!
"Okay, are you alright?" Cao Yingshan wasn't particularly concerned about such matters, but instead inquired about Jiang Chengcheng's health again.
If something really happens to him, his wife will scold him to death!
"It's alright, quickly call him down!" Jiang Chengcheng replied to Cao Yingshan, while gesturing to the middle-aged man beside her not to delay.
Although it was completely dark in the illusion, the structure had been tampered with, and it wasn't safe to stay up there.
"Well... the boss is still inspecting the place, so they can't come down..." The middle-aged man stammered, but did not immediately do as Jiang Chengcheng said.
"Listen to Chengcheng, let them all go home. I'm just here to check on the progress, not to supervise the construction." Cao Yingshan, seeing the middle-aged man's hesitation, assumed he was being considerate of him and waved his hand.
Even though the boss, Cao Yingshan, had spoken, the middle-aged man still didn't act quickly.
Thinking of the incongruity in the illusion, Jiang Chengcheng couldn't help but call out to the middle-aged man who had turned around.
"Wait, make the call here. Why come so close when you have a phone? It's not safe."
Jiang Chengcheng couldn't help but become wary when she looked into the middle-aged man's eyes.
"I didn't bring my phone," the middle-aged man said with a troubled expression.
"Use mine." Jiang Chengcheng handed over her phone without giving the other person a chance to object.
"This... I don't remember his phone number. He's just an ordinary worker," the middle-aged man said again, making excuses.
"Is that so?" Jiang Chengcheng simply said two words, and this time she didn't waste any more words with the other party!
He stepped forward and delivered a sweeping kick, instantly controlling the opponent!
She had become suspicious when she didn't see the middle-aged man in the illusion earlier, and now seeing his evasive manner, Jiang Chengcheng knew without guessing that this matter was inextricably linked to him!
"What are you doing! What are you doing! Why are you hitting me! I'm calling the police! Let me go!" After Jiang Chengcheng restrained him, the man's face was contorted with fear and rage.
Could this woman have discovered something and come to tip it off?
"Chengcheng, what's going on? What happened?" Cao Yingshan, as the head of the Cao family, wasn't stupid. Seeing the middle-aged man's strange attitude and Jiang Chengcheng's current behavior, he knew that something was amiss. He ignored the middle-aged man and directly asked Jiang Chengcheng.
"This person is suspicious. The scaffolding might have been tampered with. Quickly call someone to tell that person to come down. Put something under the scaffolding at the very end, just in case something goes wrong." Jiang Chengcheng didn't have time to explain too much, and only gave her general guess.
"What! Okay! I'll send someone over right away!" Cao Yingshan's expression changed upon hearing this, and he quickly dialed the number of another person in charge here.
"What?! Okay! I'll go find that person's contact information right now! But boss, the company doesn't have any people to use as makeshift guarantors, and we don't have time to get them right now!" The person in charge was so frightened by Cao Yingshan's words that his voice almost distorted.
If something really happens, he could go to jail!
"Use a crane!" Jiang Chengcheng saw that the sky was getting dark and the person was at a very high place. It was probably too late to walk down, and the safety rope on his body had most likely been tampered with!
"Yes! Use a crane!" Cao Yingshan immediately responded to Jiang Chengcheng's words and said into the phone.
"Okay! I'll contact them right now!" Upon hearing this, the man didn't dare to delay for even a second. He skipped the pleasantries with his superior and hung up the phone to arrange the rescue!
Just kidding! If someone were to die, he'd be in jail! He wouldn't care about that!
